The grid integration of wind power has always been a challenge. In this session a range of speakers from academia and industry will address the impact of wind on network operation and the development of a large scale offshore HVDC grid, offshore systems, the state-of-the-art in HVDC technologies, as well as more specific topics including the design of offshore networks from a reliability perspective and the transient response of HVDC links.

Learning objectives

Understand the effect of wind power on grid operation and development via case studies

Get an overview of the state of the art in HVDC offshore grid research

Get acquainted with specific topics of offshore grids, including reliability and transient response aspects
